Laboratory tests for Hodgkin's lymphoma include complete blood count (CBC), blood chemistry studies, HIV blood test, immunohistochemistry, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and immunophenotyping.

Laboratory tests for Hodgkin's lymphoma include the following:^[1]^[2]

Rule out infection
Assess how well the blood-forming organs (such as the bone marrow and spleen) are working and to see if Hodgkin's lymphoma cells have spread to the bone marrow
Provide a baseline for future blood counts taken during and after treatment

HIV blood test
Immunohistochemistry helps determine the types of cells that are present, including Hodgkin and Reed-Sternberg cells
Erythrocyte sedimentation rate
Immunophenotyping:
